When I was a child, my mother often served this salad with multicolored marshmallows sprinkled on top, much to my delight. The marshmallows added a touch of sweetness that really complemented this salad's tangy flavor. -Betty Follas, Morgan Hill, California

This was in a pineapple cookbook I got from the library. I need to use up my fresh, frozen pineapple in the freezer. I haven't tried this one yet.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup fresh pineapple chunk
green cabbage, 1/2 head, chopped or shredded
1 carrot, grated
1 green peppers or 1 red pepper, diced
1/2 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Toss together the pineapple, cabbage, carrot, green or red pepper, and onion.
Stire the rice vinegar into the mayonnaise and mustard.
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well.
Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

Choose ripe pineapple: Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor. A ripe pineapple will have a sweet, fragrant smell and its skin will be slightly soft when pressed.
Cut the pineapple correctly: To cut the pineapple, slice off the top and bottom, then slice the fruit lengthwise into quarters. Remove the core from each quarter, then cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
Use a variety of cabbage: This recipe calls for green cabbage, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. For a more colorful coleslaw, add some shredded carrots or red bell pepper.
Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this coleslaw can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
Let the coleslaw chill: After assembling the coleslaw, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to blend and the coleslaw to become more crisp.

Conclusion:

This tropical pineapple coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any summer gathering. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and tangy dressing, crunchy cabbage, and juicy pineapple, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
